“Dexter!” Mr Burkley greeted him once he spotted him around the corner from the front yard. His house was built miles away from the city right inside the wild because he had a thing for privacy and of course, the environment. It was a two storey house with a beautiful garden in the back and tall eucalyptus trees that had climbers running up their trunks to provide for a thick border around the house. Dexter remembered once coming over with his father when he was younger and playing near the pond in the heart of the garden, but those days were long over and now, he came with more pressing matters.Dexter tried to keep his face neutral as he got closer to the older man, who had been his father’s friend and still kept contact with the Black. “I never thought that I would ever see you step o

Anelia dragged her feet over to the bathroom and took a shower. Morning had arrived way too early and she wasn’t feeling too motivated to wake up and do much but Brett was right, she had to be stay strong for Dexter. She wouldn’t be helping herself in any way if she abandoned her health.   She stepped out and wiped the large bathroom mirror to look at herself. She looked horrible, to say the least. Her eyes were red and her face bloated from all the crying. The bags underneath her eyes made her want to never show herself to humankind again.  She twisted her neck to look at the hickeys that he had peppered over her neck but mostly over her breasts. She touched them and sighed as she dried herself up with little to no energy. “Hey, you aren’t dying in there right?” A shrill voice shouted the question out, consequently banging on the door.

Anelia stood outside the VIP hospital room with different flowers than she had brought yesterday. There were many reasons why she should not have been standing there but she had gathered her courage and come to the central hospital. She was not there simply as Anelia Telford but as a woman with a purpose; a woman who came to fight for her love. If it took being a maid to endeavour to get him to remember her, so be it.She plastered a smile on her face and internally thanked Brett and Dave again for keeping her in the loop about all the details regarding Dexter; minor and major. How, for example, she knew that he had now been changed to a more private wing of the hospital was all thanks to them.With a knock, she stormed in and closed the doo

“Emma, I don’t need you to come over because it’s late as it is and I don’t want to trouble you. Look, I told you I can feel it in my bones that he’s not coming back tonight,” she said to her friend, as she peeked downstairs and tried to listen out for any movement that would prove that he was around, but it was silent and the lights were off, as she has left them earlier when she had retreated to her room.  “You know, if you want some privacy to sex that man up, then say so,” Emma drawled, sounding very amused. “Will you stop with your wild imagination. How can I sex him up when he does not even remember who I am and I have been staying out of his way, remember?”  “People don’t need to know each other in

Dexter had meant to follow Anelia out and corner her somewhere along the way about something that he had managed to seem very unbothered about. However, he didn’t knot that the woman could be very swift. She was nowhere to be seen.   He decided to walk in the direction of the restroom. That’s when he heard the loud slap. His eyes widened and he wondered if he should intervene with whatever was happening inside but he decided that he could not just budge into the toilet. He was still contemplating on what to do when someone shouted.   “How dare you! You’re just a stupid and poor girl. How dare you insult me like this? You know nothing about me or my history with Dexter Black! You know nothing about what happened.” He immediately recognised that voi
